Life in Ruins

INTRO
If this moment truly determines the rest of my life
Like every other moment before it has/
Then this moment is the biggest moment of my life/
Cuz this life is what you make of it
In each and every moment you live in it/
My question to you now is/
What are you gonna do about it/?

Yeah pitch black skies//
Ashes spread all over the ground// acid rain pourin’ down//
Death and destruction all around//
Three-thirty in the afternoon on a Wednesday
No kids on the playground/
School’s been locked down and boarded up//
I could walk for miles and ain’t no one would ever show up/
Forty-eight days straight I ain’t seen a ray of sunlight
Or had a starry night/
No way of knowing where I’m going
Sense of direction has been desensitized/
This life usedta be so vibrant then the happiness in it was brutalized//
Everyday a war just a fuckin’ survive/
Left all alone in the hell fire and brimstone yeah-uh
Even if I did need to find someone to help
They ain’t gonna give a fuck cuz this is truly me against the world//
Eyes wide open but they ain’t seein’ nothin’
Just the memories of this hell hole’s Fallen//
Guess what they say about not knowin’
What cha got till tha shit’s dead and gone wasn’t said enough/
Cuz in a blink of an eye this whole world
Went a shit and I still ain’t missin’ it//
Everywhere I look everything I see is suspicious
Every step could be murderous so every movement I take cautious/
When tha fuck did this life become so mysterious/?

CHORUS (X2)
Cuz now there’s little girls left abandoned on their own
But not alone/
Their newborn baby’s cries going unknown
Till they can’t moan or groan/
How the fuck they supposed to become full grown/?!?!?

And they say that this life is decided by each and every single moment
That you live and breathe up inside it/
But how are we supposed to see the options
When all you got are pitch black skies/
Acid rain pouring down/
Ashes spread all over the ground and death and destruction all around/?
The adversity and brutality of this life
Playing games with your mind subconsciously/
Without you know it the brutality are at war inside you internally/
Mind and body stayin’ strong and true
With the false sense of security of a make-belief reality/
But inevitably your heart and soul
Wanna go with the adversity of this life’s real-world negativity/
And they say this life’s decided by the last moment
That you had in it/
And you can literally mould and shape this life
Just by living every moment and makin’ it how ya wan it/
Then wouldn’t each and every single moment
That you breathe the breath of life be the biggest moment of your life/?
Nah that ain’t true cuz if it were then we wouldn’t be where we are/
Locked up behind bars in cells like animals/
Or stripped down naked and thrown in the streets alone
Like we’re under quarantine/


CHORUS (X2)
Cuz now there’s little girls left abandoned on their own
But not alone/
Their newborn baby’s cries going unknown
Till they can’t moan or groan/
How the fuck they supposed to become full grown/?!?!?

Yeah this life is so fucked up/
Fakery and trickery have overthrown and banished
Love and loyalty from this land for all eternity/
This world so scary cuz rape and forgery
Are the new ways of showing shivery/
Will we ever getta see this planet how it was originally/?
When peace and serenity were the only ways to live/
And happiness and kindness ran this godforsaken land with an iron fist/
An iron fist that has long since been lost and forgotten
In the midst of our inability to coexists/
Now this life so wrecked and
We got eight year old child girls ready to enlist/
Taking more innocent lives then years they have been alive/
By night they just tryna survive/
But by day its foot patrols, AKs, and shoot-to-kills/
And I ain’t talking about the young
Daughters and sons who spend their days
Fighting under black suns/
Nah can’t even imagine what it must be like for them/
But I’m talking about the ones lucky enough to stay home
But still we wake up and say
“I am legend/”
But even Will Smith couldn’t survive this/
Cuz there ain’t no outside civilization to save him
From this war-torn nation/
But we have to take action
Against this death and destruction
To make it permanently cease and desist
And on that I fucking insist

HOOK (X2)
Cuz now there’s little girls left abandoned on their own
But not alone/
Their newborn baby’s cries going unknown
Till they can’t moan or groan
How the fuck they supposed to become full grown/?!?!?
